đ Will They Inherit Our Blogs? | Kev Quirk
Iâd love it if my sons took up blogging when theyâre old enough to (that, and riding motorbikes!). But theyâre their own people, and may not want to. If thatâs the case, I just hope theyâll agree to keep my waffle online for a little while once Iâm gone.
I have been known to think about this myself. Not holding my breath for my work to remain online - then again - who knows?
But - like Kev - pretty sure it wonât be my daughter đ¤
Finally âŚ.
developers will need to focus even more on polish and making an app feel like a finished product
Hopefully that will not only be about Design and Interface, but also navigation and simplicity and all else that drives me nuts with too many apps. (Most if I am honest - some I stick with.)
In December đđď¸Lenny talked with Elena Verna - head of growth at Lovable - and on the way through commented that âMinimum Viable Productâ is now table stakes - we need to be building Minimum Loveable Products.
Ok - self serving naming - but it is the same kind of thinking.
đ National Transport & Toy Museum in Wanaka | Atlas Obscura
It’s impossible to describe everything that’s here: cars spanning the Morris Minor to a Ferrari 400I, Air New Zealand airplanes, almost every type of Lego set, a Barbie section, and vintage items like cast-iron banks and typewriters.
Not sure I understand how typewriters fit into the museums theme ⌠but it continues to amaze how much stuff like this floats around New Zealand.

đ Scripting News: Tuesday, February 3, 2026
I don’t understand the connection, other than RSS is always useful, as a way of formalizing the output of an app so other apps can use it as input.
I understand - it forms the foundation of one if my new modules in the Engagement Platform we are building.

đ Why Tech (&) Media is complicated â On my Om
Obviously, he didnât respond. He didnât have to. Maybe he was worried that an old-school reporter like me would do my homework and ask basic, but tough questions. The kind of questions that used to be standard fare, but now they get you ignored.

I told founders to step back and think about why their stories mattered to anyone but themselves

We built systems that reward acceleration, and we act surprised when everything feels rushed, shallow, a little manic. The algorithm doesnât care if something is true. It cares if it moves. Nothing moves like titillation, gossip, and startup psychodrama.

A16zâs backing no longer means what Sequoiaâs meant in 2005, and a TechCrunch launch no longer means what it did in 2008. The technology ecosystem is noise. Its media outlets are just the outward expression of that noise

There are fewer than a dozen journalists I can name-check those who don’t disappoint. Nilay Patel of The Verge for example.

đ How to Grow Old: Bertrand Russell on What Makes a Fulfilling Life â The Marginalian
Make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life. An individual human existence should be like a river â small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being
I have no idea why I have so much to share from Maria - other than my RSS feed was suddenly full of her posts for some reason - so why not share the love.
